True - but that does not negate her talent. She positively shines in P. Home Companion and that is a little hard to do with the Streep and Tomilin sharing the screen with you

Same with her new on Georgia Rules.

All I was saying was she's doing what most people her age do. Yes like Jason said sad but true. It's just getting old and the media makes it out like young adults don't do these types of things. I wasn't trying to start an argument. They were talking about it on tv and I just felt like posting something.

I forget which actress said that she was at a career day type thing and was very alarmed because so many of the kids when asked what they wanted to be when they grow up said, "I want to be famous" not "I want to be an actress" or "I want to be a musician" just "famous". Likely for nothing...

And I agree..these celebrities have to learn to take responsibility for their actions. I was sick when I heard of the Paris Hilton petition to stop her from serving time. She claims she was being made an example of how bad drunk driving is....whateve.r..bitch is warped and should be put in the slammer...and not in some isolation cell for 20-something days....

Anyway...whatever...it's all sad to me, and eventually these people will be yesterday's news...and I can't wait for that day, except that a new batch of annoying drunken kids with too much money will come up and hog the spotlight.

Deanna, I completely agree. The one thing that irks me the most is drunk driving becuase it could easily kill someone. I could go on and on about it, but the bottom line that anything like that is illegal, is purely that. ILLEGAL

Whether it be drugs, alcohol under 21 or what.

I totally agree!!!! I feel she shouldn't have a damn license to operate a weapon....that weapon is a car and the bullet is alcohol...that girl is a complete trainwreck.

None of them had their hoo hoos photographed though. Although I can't remember if Lohan is part of that club.

I want to see her in the media for her talent, I don't want to hear so much about her personal life. She's just a person.

Are you kidding me? The studios were just powerful enough to get such things quashed. Then, along came Hearst and Citizen kane, wherein he pulled out all the stops to try to make the studios buy back the movie.

Yeah, I mean like I said earlier, this is one thing I am passionate about. When my peers talk about getting drunk/wasterd/folded, it makes me so mad. I cringe inside and it's like, you were given a pure life, why do something to potentially F*ck it up and even worse, AFFECT OTHERS.......... That's why I stay absolutely away from that stuff and surround myself with people with the same values.

The media does need to focus on something different. You are correct. It needs to focus on the criminals that are running this country and illegal war we are fighting in Iraq. That said, I have no doubt that Lohan has a serious drug/alcohol problem that needs to be nipped in the bud now before she's found dead in a bathtub somewhere ala Jim Morrison. Morrison was only 28 when he died. I don't think her issues should be made light of because of her age.

Most people her age are not making 8 million dollars a film. She is in an entirely different league than most people her age. Her reality is quite different than that of an average 20 year old. I should know because I have one and she and her friends are not out crashing their cars and drinking in hotspot bars under age. Nor do any of them drive a 2005 Mercedes or wear couture. They go to college and most of them are in debt up to their neck just so they can get a degree and get a decent job when they graduate.
Also, let's revisit this quote when your baby girl is 20.

I hate to nitpick, but he was 27. As was Hendrix. As was Joplin.

nor do i. though i do think the media should stop focusing on her when there are clearly more pressing issues to focus on, it's obvious she has a problem and needs help. however, too many "celebrities" are seen stumbling out of clubs, collapsing in bars, running their cars off the road -- a slap on the wrist only glamourizes their lives and makes young women [and men, i suppose] think that this sort of behavior is acceptable [as deanna was basically saying]. i think everyone knows that if any of us pulled such stunts in the areas where we live, no one would think twice about locking our asses up in jail and issusing a dwi. and perhaps i was the exception, but at age twenty, i wasn't snorting coke, hanging out at clubs underage drinking with friends so the excuse that "she's young" and doing what everyone else is doing is shotty, imo -- this is not normal behavior. she's a spoiled and troubled girl who has been lacking any sort of parental guidance and has far too much money and fame that came way too fast for her.
